Church World Services:
This organization puts together School Kits and/or Hygiene Kits (among other services). CWU helps with this project. This year the In-gathering will be held at three local areas (see below). Kits are sent wherever the need is greatest. During the May 2019 tornados, our own area was the recipient of CWS kits! NOTE: Please follow the instructions on the procedures and forms file! |
Many of our CWU churches reported compiling / sending / ordering hundreds of kits in September of each year! These included both School Kits and Hygiene kits; kits were sent to depots from which they were shipped to centers for distribution to areas of need.
Thank you to all those who contributed to this event!
